When I first discovered that piano medley, I couldn't stop smiling. I just rewatched it a few days ago. Like you, I return to it often. Don't give up on learning to play piano. I'll soon be 56 and it's still on my To Do list even if I never become 1/10000th as good as Prince.
And this is the reason why Prince is called the Mozart of music. I agree with the comment people are more impressed with high selling records impresses them more than a multi talent real true artist.
I call him " BY ALL OBJECTIVE STANDARDS " because people love to get in their feelings, sales and popularity. There are levels and music can (like it or not) can be broken down into categories of musicality. I tell MJ folks this ain't a bank audit nor synchronized dancing, this is the creative process of making music and you wouldn't believe how many people are willing to discount playing 27 different instruments. People that can play are a small minority and people who can't always have the most to say.
Playing “ONE” instrument at a high level is a challenge. Being able to play pretty much any instrument other than horns…incredibly difficult. And play to where you belong in any circle of musicians. His vocals…crazy!! Songwriting…smh. Arrangements…yup, got that too. Dancing…unmatched physicality. Stage presence…through the roof. He had it all in spades. Sure, he was blessed. But no one can dismiss his work ethic. Miss this guy 💜🤘🏿🕊️
@@gfanarakos It's true. Engineers and Studio Musicians don't sit around talking about Usher or Justin Timberlake, this is not a slur against Michael. Musicology Proffesors Teach classes on Prince not Michael. Michael is the flashy biopic and Prince is the Documentary.
Prince shook up the game and Q definitely was not feeling him. He had so much autonomy it threatened guys like Quincy. Him and Michael were always reaching out to do something because they were trying to peep his process. We are the World and every other reach out were attempts to "son" him and Prince wasn't having it.
Thank u, Especially Bad they was really trying 2 play him. Making him the Wesley Snipes character super corny. MJ could do what P could do because he simply wasn't talented enough.
I love this medley so much and often watch it, too. It was great to hear your perspective on it. I JUST saw that Quincy clip for the first time today and was baffled. What on earth is he hearing??? I’m sure you’ve seen the soundcheck where he’s playing Summertime. I love watching that one as well. It’s so amazing and it’s SOUNDCHECK!!! He’s calling out notes and talking to people and still playing that beautiful song. Simply the best to ever do it!!! Thank you!! 💜💜💜
Quincy still mad Prince tricked him into thinking he'd give him that tootsie pop. (Hopefully you remember when that happened or else, my comment might sound really inappropriate LOL )
This is absolutely breathtaking in how he literally becomes one w/the instrument and his confidence in playing. It’s soooo funny how you posted this content today because I thought of you yesterday when I came across a video titled : “The Little Prince : Footage Unearthed Of Superstar At Age 11”. I was shocked to see that was indeed Prince. If you haven’t seen it , you might wanna check it out 😊. Great content as usual 😃👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
If you think Prince had a Sly Stone vibe on that jam. Check out the similarities between "Forever In My Life by Prince" vs "Everyday People by Sly." 🤔 There's no bout a doubt it. +Peace, Funk & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend+ 🤘😉🤘
I saw this tour on Halloween 1988. Best birthday gift ever (my birthday is October 13) I saw new edition that month too! I miss the 80s. I heard Venus De Milo For the first time in 86 and I swore it would be my wedding March. And you bet I made it happen. My family was not surprised lol it’s gorgeous.
I truly love this medley! But could someone pretty please tell me the name of the last song he sings?? I want to hear the whole song if possible but I can’t seem to figure out what it is😢
I just recently saw that Quincy video you mentioned, and it was whack! 🤣 To say Prince knew a few chords but couldn't really play piano is ignorant af. Lol
@@IJ_RogersTVI'M NOT HATING ON YOU. I'M HAPPY TO SEE BLACK PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY A BLACK MAN, DOING WHAT YOU DO. YOU YOURSELF SAID " I'M TALKING TOO MUCH". I DON'T THINK THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT SAYS "YOU TALK TOO MUCH". PEOPLE WANT TO SEE AND HEAR THE VIDEO. MAYBE YOU CAN SAVE THE JIBBER-JABBA UNTIL AFTER THE VIDEO? OK?
@@David-cv8zd Not trying to start an argument, please don't think that. I just think that as a reactor, he knows people can go see the actual video if they want and are here to see his reactions to things.
WHAT A GIFT TO THE WORLD OF MUSIC, THERE WILL NEVER B ANOTHER N THIS LIFETIME

@@ND-9 Sonny T said Prince could play the saxophone.
Thanks, I had never seen that video and rediscovering something here. I saw him 5 times live but it was not enough to see everything!
I can imagine!! 🙏🏾

Oh, you should really check out Prince at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2009 (2 shows) and 2013 (3 shows) absolutely mind blowing.

@@leeharrison8222 Haha! That moment is iconic. There was no way Prince was giving in and singing that song even that night. Hilarious!
Ppl think Prince hated MJ I think it was the other way around. Prince was 2 much a G too care.
Ive watched that whole concert it was amazing. Prince is definitely the G.O.A.T

The Parade album / era is my favorite as well! I love this version of Strange Relationship.
You get it! This version is crazy good!
I thank you for talking About.
Under cherry moon. Prince.
Wrote Directed produced. He is a genius

If you love this then listen to Condition of the heart
The album version is insane
When you said Sly Stone on Strange Relationship ending, I got a hint of Ray Charles. Thank you so much for this upload.
I can hear that as well!!
It's a Yamaha keyboard fitted inside a grand piano body, it was easier to for touring.
we call this the Mozart or Prince effect in musical 21st century matters

I truly love this medley! But could someone pretty please tell me the name of the last song he sings??
I want to hear the whole song if possible but I can’t seem to figure out what it is😢
It’s “When 2 R In Love!”
🔥

😂😂😂 that was a crazy statement for sure!
Straight jealousy or ignorance.
Quincy is a hater
People claim that Kanye,JayZ and others are musical geniuses and cannot play one fucking instrument Prince is the greatest of all time 💜
why @ 10.42 reminds me Ray Charles not Sly...maybe Sly roots is actually Ray Charles
YOU TALK TOO DAMN MUCH
You commented to tell me that I talk too much on a reaction video? 😂😂 Get that hate out your heart, Buddy Dave.
